💬 SURPRISE! 😅 I just couldn’t stop working on these! I just worked on it locally from my computer despite not having much space to do so and my new hard drive arrived yesterday. So that’s the good news. And there’s more good news… In case you missed it ( kzread.infoUgkxJHIv0SizXDbveVZXsScUWPgT5XiyElGt ) my hard drive crashed and I lost access to all of my work, the finished Boston - Foreplay/Long time video and a bunch of other stuff. Just today, the drive’s manufacturer has agreed to perform a data recovery service on it free of charge for me. My data recovery plan expired a year ago, but they are making a one time exception… which really made my day! The only drawback is there’s no guarantee I’ll get anything back and if I do, it could take up to 30 days to get it returned to me. That’s ok. I’ll take what I can get. As far as artwork… I will just do what I did for this video… create new artwork as I need it. I’m really hoping that I get my finished Boston video back and I don’t have to start that one completely over! There is also no “Making of” portion of this video as I didn’t have the space resources to record the process. I was going to make “25 or 6 to 4” by Chicago my next project… but most of the reactions to it are to the live Tanglewood version and the quality of the audio is not that good. I might have to push this one off for a while. So I’m moving on to yet another epic song by yet another epic band! Onto the next! 💜

Sorry. Must disagree. The studio musicians of all time were in Philadelphia. At Sigma Studios. They were called MFSB.

Acoustic Peg under the post reactions is 🔥🔥🔥

Welcome to 1977. What a year that was. Music like Steely Dan, Movies like Star Wars, Close Encounters of the 3rd Kind. Yup, We had it all. And roller skating rinks too boot. Think I still have mine. Thanks WonderMommaOG, another trip down memory lane for me. 🧁🧁🧁

Momma you couldn't go wrong with Stealy Dan. Classic, smooth, good times.

Man, that buttery bass line. ❤

"Kid Charlemane" Is fantastic, great back story to the song. Late 60s San Fransico, LSD etc.

Aja is one of my favorite albums. 😊

You got me dancing and singing once again, truly enjoy seeing a younger generation enjoying this music. May I suggest Crosby, Still’s, Nash &Young.

The pure musicianship of Steely Dan is incredible. They have such an iconic and unique sound! My mom's name is Ricki (short for Fredericka) and one of the first songs I remember hearing and liking as a child was Rikki Don't Lose That Number, because my mom thought it was a hoot that her name was in it. On a weirder note, I wonder if any of these people know where they got their band name from? 😂

Is it possible to dislike this song? I don't think so. Well, done Momma-always!

Michael McDonald was a studio keyboardist and songwriter, with his soulful voice & keys became a member of Steely Dan (1973-1974) but never recorded his music with them, He then joined the Doobie Brothers (1975-1982, 1987, 2019-present). wrote and sang several hit singles. As for Stelly Dan (Donald Fagen, Walter Becker), they became the industry standard of the highest regard. Becker and Fagen played together studying at Bard College in Annandale-on-Hudson, New York, moved to Los Angeles, gathered a band of musicians, and began recording. Their first, Can't Buy a Thrill (1972), blends elements of rock, jazz, Latin music, R&B, blues, and sophisticated studio production.

Hey yo momma, thanks for bringing us all together.

I'm just happy to see folks of a younger bent having the wide, WIDE world of music from the 20th century opened up to them. I knew they'd gravitate toward it. After all, good music is a universal language. Your channel, specifically, is fun to me because I wouldn't otherwise see the reactions of 95% of these folks. The more, the merrier, eh?

Always a hit - you can't go wrong with these pro's! Donald Fagen solo is also fun - my favorite Steely Dan song is probably Haitian Divorce, not for the topic but the ear candy!

I am a massive Steely Dan fan. My children probably grew up being sick of hearing them. There's just no possible way to put this song on and not smile and have the groove grab your booty. Steely Dan was a once in a lifetime experience. There is not been a band like them before or since. I've not seen a band fuse jazz funk and Rock, other than them...so seamless. Michael Mcdonald from the Doibie Brothers singin backup was that icing on the cake!!

Had the great pleasure of seeing them in VA Beach re-touring the Aja album about 10yrs ago. Bucket list ☒

Steely Dan, your favorite bands favorite band🔥🤘🎶

This is one of those bands, i knew of but never really listened to growing up, but this is a really good song

OMG...FINALLY!!! Ive been waiting to hear from all the reactors on the GREAT FABULOUS STEELY DAN. VERY COOL UNDENIABLY A PERFECT CHOICE OF EACH VOCALS BY MICHAEL with his cotten soft voice and instruments. An orchestra of GOLD 💃☘️

Aja is def a top 5 album; it should be required listening for all the hip cats out there.

Aja! Loved to play Steely Dan on Sunday mornings when i lived at the beach...great way to start a relaxing day !!! Love that Michael McDonald is singing on this track! So i heard that Donald Fagan said at one time..."imagine that Peg takes place at a seedy photo shoot in LA in the 1950s...and that it all comes from the perspective of a jilted boyfriend who was still hanging around...and how it will come back to her." When i think of it that way the lyrics really bring the meaning forward...great choice Wondermomma! You are the best! ❤Thank you so much for the memories!!! Love you! ❤❤

The bass (played by Chuck Rainey) ) is mind-blowing. And the use of space in both the music and the mixing/mastering is amazing. Genre? It's a mash-up of rock/jazz/funk/soul, often with a touch of sarcasm and cynicism - both music and lyrics.. Pretty much their own sound. Thanks for the reactions!

What a fun choice, Momma! So many side-to-side head slides/nods. 😁 As a kid, I thought it was “Pain … it will come back to you.” 😅 I love the acoustic guitar version you chose for the reactor’s summaries. Lovely.

OMG!! Thanks so much for this!!! I haven't heard this in ages 🎸 I LOVED this song new, LOVE it still 🎹 Thanks for your work sweetheart, you deserve every accolade you get from your fans/followers!! What great reactions!!! Fangirl (me) for life!! Patty R. 🇺🇸 ✨💖✨ So happy about your incredible news, with your hard drive!!! 🥁

I’m a little late but more Steely Dan please! Love the Dan and it’s always amazing to see people understand why they’re some of the best to ever do it!

Truly one of the best live shows I've ever heard. I think it was 98 at the palm beach amphitheater(was called elseback then) . Amazing performance.

Classic! 💯

Love Steely Dan. 😅 Always feels like home to me when I hear it because that was always my moms GO-TO on Saturdays when we would clean house and work on projects. ❤

Love me some Steely Dan. Timeless music. I know this is from Aja but “Can’t buy a thrill” is my favorite. Good job WonderMomma. I hope that you do get all of your hard work back on your new hard drive🤞🏼. Anxious for Boston.

One of the best albums from one of the best musical talents ever. Not the best song off the album (That’s “Deacon Blues”) but my wife loves it and that’s what counts.

What a song ❤ what a collection of fantastic reactions 😊

I saw Donald Fagen, Michael McDonald, and Boz Skaggs play together in San Francisco and I actually got to hear Michael do the backups live like he did on the original studio tracks!

Hot damn what a great song to do. You just keep doing that Momma. Wow. I don’t know that I’ve ever paid super close to the lyrics, but this song just grooves. It’s a timeless and funny groove. Well done! And damn shame the source video isn’t there for 25 or 6 of 4, that’s such a great song to get reactions to as well.

WonderMomma you've done it again! Another fantastic reaction compilation- you are a genius. Thank you

lmao... this song brings so much joy and everyones reaction shows that. great mashup. 🥳

Thank you WonderMommaOG! Love to see how you capture the appreciation these reactors have for the classics! Nice work 👍

It is so cool to see these reactions. This is the music from my college days. We had sooooo much incredible music in the 1970's. I'm glad to see this generation reacting to Steely Dan the way we did when it was released. Peg is one of their best. You can never go wrong with The Dan.

one of the greatest tunes EVER. just magic.

Story goes they asked the bass player Chuck Rainey ( a bass legend ) not to slap ( a bass playing technique ) and just play finger style ( a basic bass playing technique ) on the recording after a couple of practice takes when it was time to record Chuck blocked his bass from view some say he turned his back to the rest of the band and played using the slap technique anyway and they liked the final product and left it as is. Peg is my all time favorite Steely Dan song Btw The band was made up of session musicians and artists from other groups including Michael McDonald

Steely Dan is an exceptional band of talent. Donald Fagen (vocals) put out an album called NY Rock and Soul Review Live from the Beacon. Several known artists including Phoebe Snow and Michael McDonald singing some of the best music and one of my favorite albums.

This song was I heard made because I think one of the people, in the band had dated a Japanese woman named Peg. But there was another version where there was an up-and-coming actress who killed herself who jumped off the Hollywood sign her name was Peg. And you can actually look that up.

I love these compilation reactions! I thank the creator for justifying my belief of the power of music. The songs and bands I grew up loving are finally being appreciated, every single reviewer has a big smile on their face and that was how it hit me 40+ years ago and still does.
